How urgent is cleaning ducts with family feeling unwell?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed a persistent dry cough from everyone in the house, especially when someone turns on the AC. The living room, which is right under the vent, seems to be the worst hit. Given that my family has been feeling unwell for about a month now, how urgent is it really to clean the ducts?

Cleaning the ducts is indeed a serious matter, especially given the circumstances your family has been experiencing. Persistent coughing and respiratory issues can be caused by numerous factors, but given that you've noticed this after a dust storm, it's highly likely that dust particles, allergens, or mold spores could be circulating through your HVAC system.

In Dubai/UAE, the Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi (EAD) does have some guidelines regarding indoor air quality and maintenance of HVAC systems. It is recommended to have your ducts inspected by a professional service provider who can assess any potential issues like dust build-up or mold growth. If left unaddressed, these could exacerbate respiratory conditions.

Given that you've been dealing with symptoms for about a month now, it's quite urgent to take action. Persistent coughing and other similar symptoms should not be ignored. It’s wise to schedule a professional inspection and cleaning of your ducts as soon as possible. Not only will this help alleviate the current issues but also prevent future occurrences.
